I hope that more groups do things like this and the DOE and the city finally relents so we can actually focus on learning how to make the best remote curriculum possible.
Here is a petition that you should sign also.
A group of principals from District 15 wrote and signed a letter in support of keeping school buildings closed and only opening them through a phased reopening plan. Luckily, I am in a school with a principal who signed this letter. As we learn of more and more groups that believe we shouldn't be opening buildings just yet, it is important to identify what are the major criticisms they have and how they mesh together. The subtext (and sometimes real text) that I read in this letter is a lack of trust in the ability of the DOE to make good on its promises. They have been saying they are going to make sure ventilation is taken care of in buildings, yet many of them don't have the fixes yet to building-related issues going back years. Check out these building reports!
